Product Highlights

• ASC / SCI cast stainless steel fitting
• Figure 3716RC / S3716RC item family
• 316 stainless steel
• 150# configuration
• Reducing coupling configuration
• Socket-weld connection on both ends

• 316 stainless castings conform to ASTM A351 ACI Grade CF8M
• Designed for compatible stainless steel socket-weld piping systems

A socket weld reducing coupling connects two different nominal pipe sizes through a compact straight-line fitting.

Each end provides a socket connection sized for the corresponding adjoining pipe, allowing the size transition to occur within the coupling body.

Confirm both required pipe connection sizes before fabrication or installation.

ASC identifies the 150# Cast 316 Stainless Socket Weld Reducing Coupling as Figure 3716RC.

The supplied SCI Heavy Pattern catalog groups the 304 and 316 versions together as Figures 3714RC & 3716RC. Individual 316 item numbers use the S3716RC prefix followed by the applicable size coding.

No size, dimensional, part-number, packing, or weight tables have been added to this page.

This fitting uses cast 316 stainless steel construction.

The ASC / SCI stainless fitting information identifies 316 stainless castings as conforming to ASTM A351 ACI Grade CF8M.

The cast body incorporates different-size socket-weld openings to create a permanent in-line pipe-size transition.

This product is the 316 stainless steel version of the ASC / SCI 150# cast socket-weld reducing coupling family.

The 316 stainless casting designation is identified as ASTM A351 ACI Grade CF8M.

Confirm compatibility between the fitting material, adjoining pipe, process media, welding procedure, and overall system requirements before installation.

The reducing coupling uses socket-weld connections on both ends.

Each adjoining pipe section is inserted into the corresponding fitting socket before the connection is welded in place.

Proper pipe preparation, insertion, alignment, and welding procedures should be followed for the intended stainless steel piping system.

The supplied SCI Stainless Weld Fittings Catalog is included as an additional stainless fitting reference.

That document covers SCI stainless butt-weld fitting families and provides supporting stainless steel fitting information.

Because this product is a cast socket-weld reducing coupling, use the supplied ASC 150# Stainless Socket Weld information and SCI Heavy Pattern catalog as the more product-specific references for Figure 3716RC.

The supplied GetPipe.com Common Diameters and Wall Thicknesses PDF is included as a general adjoining-pipe reference.

Use it when checking nominal pipe size, outside diameter, and schedule-related wall-thickness information for compatible piping.

The pipe chart should not be interpreted as providing this coupling's socket depth, overall dimensions, reduction geometry, or fitting weight.

The 150# Cast Stainless Socket Weld Reducing Coupling 316 is intended for compatible stainless steel piping systems requiring a permanent in-line transition between two different pipe sizes using socket-weld connections.

Final suitability should be confirmed against 316 stainless steel material requirements, both nominal connection sizes, adjoining pipe, welding requirements, operating conditions, process media, and overall system design.

• Confirm that the installation requires a 150#, 316 stainless steel socket-weld reducing coupling.
• Verify both required connection sizes before ordering.
• Confirm compatibility between each fitting socket and the adjoining pipe.
• Use appropriate pipe preparation, insertion, alignment, and welding procedures.
• Review the supplied ASC Socket Weld information as the product-specific reference, with the SCI stainless weld catalog and pipe chart used as supporting references.
